Kevin,

I think it is ironic that some people deal with abuse situation by acting out their own feelings of frustration and anger without thinking about the damage that it can do, when the real problem in abuse situations is that someone is acting out their own feelings of frustration and anger without any sensitivity to the damage that it does.

My first concern is not to make things any worse, and, as I pointed out, there are a lot of people who could suffer from a mistake in judgement here.
